Notes from the CD Booklet (click track titles for sound clips)

This recording would not have been possible with out the support and encouragement of Albany Studios, Gail Barber, Camac Harps, Deborah Henson-Conant, Ann Griffiths and Pilgrim Harps. Benjamin would also like to thank his harp teacher Eluned Pierce & everyone else who has provided so much help and encouragement over the last year.

Nataliana & New Blues were recorded live at the Stag Owners Club National Day Dinner, Hilton Hotel, Newport on Saturday 16 August 2003. Huna Blentyn, Olé! & Booming Boogie were recorded at Albany Studios, Cardiff on 4 September 2003. All the tracks are unedited single as is takes.

Ben Jamming was recorded during the Summer of 2003 to help raise money for Benjamin’s third year of supporting BBC Children in Need.

Being only 7 years old Benjamin does not normally accept performance bookings but he is always delighted to give short recitals at any charity events or at non charity events where he can collect money for his chosen charity BBC Children in Need.

For classical and traditional music he uses his first harp, a 34 string concert strung Clarsach. This is a fantastic, professional quality lever harp beautifully made by Pilgrim Harps. Its size just happens to make it an excellent instrument for young children to learn on.

Benjamin has developed a passion for Jazz, Blues & contemporary music so in April 2003 he tried a Camac 36 string Electric Harp. Telynau Vining Harps (Cardiff based Camac distributors) have very kindly lent a shop model to Benjamin while Camac are developing a new model. Benjamin is destined to be the proud owner of the first new model to be made - specially finished for him in maroon - in Autumn 2003.
